The Doctor: I wish I had known you better.
Father Octavian: I think, sir, that you know me at my best.

Bill: How do I look?
Beatrix: You look ready.

No point asking when it is,
No point asking who's to go,
No point asking what's the game,
No point asking who's to blame,
'Cos if you're gonna die, if you're gonna die,
If you're gonna die, if you're gonna die,
If you're gonna die, die with your boots on...

Rebecca Adler: I just want to die with a little dignity.
Dr. Gregory House: There's no such thing! Our bodies break down, sometimes when we're 90, sometimes before we're even born, but it always happens and there's never any dignity in it! I don't care if you can walk, see, wipe your own ass... it's always ugly, always! You can live with dignity; you can't die with it!


Jerry: Can't you at least die with a little dignity?
George: No, I can't! I can't die with dignity! I have no dignity! I want to be the one person who doesn't die with dignity!
I live my whole life in shame! Why should I die with dignity?

How awesome would Darth Vader’s death scene really be if, after his heroic sacrifice, he spent his last few moments screaming “The force lightning! It BUUUURNS! This is the worst pain IMAGINABLE!! Luke, would you stop sitting there like a nerf herder and get your old man some freaking MORPHINE?!”
There is nothing proper about what you are doing, soldier, but do try to kill me properly.
—last words of Cicero (attributed)

Shepard: "Mordin, I'm sorry..."
Mordin: "I'm not. Had to be me... Someone else might have gotten it wrong."

"I have no illusions of the future. Or maybe it's all illusion. I don't know. I've always been ready for it."
